Preliminary investigations have revealed links to a trafficking network operating out of neighbouring Mizoram, with the narcotics being illegally transported from Aizawl, Mizoram.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">This is the second major drug seizure by the district police within the past 20 days, with a earlier bust on March 25 resulting in the confiscation of 60,000 Yaba tablets, worth \u20b920 crore, near the Mizoram border. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">SP Mahatta emphasized that the crackdown is part of the district police\u2019s broader campaign against interstate trafficking. \u201cThe district is being used as a transit point by traffickers from neighbouring states, and we are determined to dismantle this network,\u201d he told The Assam Tribune, underscoring the police\u2019s commitment to tackling the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The Cachar Police\u2019s efforts have been met with praise, with the Superintendent highlighting the importance of dismantling the trafficking network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"> \u201cWe have been working tirelessly to disrupt the illegal drug trade in the region, and this seizure is a significant milestone in our efforts,\u201d Mahatta said. The police are continuing their investigations into all four cases, with the aim of bringing those responsible to justice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The seizure is a significant victory in the fight against drug trafficking, with Assam being a major hub for such activities. The state has been working to combat the issue, with increased surveillance and raids aimed at disrupting the supply chain. The Assam government has also implemented several measures to reduce drug addiction, including rehabilitation centers and counseling services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">As the police continue their efforts to dismantle the network, the people of Assam can take heart in knowing that the authorities are committed to keeping the state safe from the scourge of drug trafficking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"> With the number of seizures and arrests on the rise, it is clear that the police are making progress in their battle against the illegal drug trade.u The people of Assam can expect to see more such results in the coming days and weeks as the police work to eradicate this menace from the state.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a significant blow to drug traffickers, the Cachar Police in Assam have arrested ten individuals and seized a substantial quantity of suspected heroin in four separate operations.
